Agreed. That Xbox documentary was really well done.

​​@@pse2020We needed that Sony produce it themselves. Probably tell some stuff that weren't told before. Like some truth of what was happening.
They could shed some truth of what was happening during the PS3 era and why they were slumped so bad against Xbox 360 that even have its own major issue, like the Red Ring of Death (which Microsoft themselves admitted on their documentary series on it's because of rapid cycle of thermal expansion of the chip). Or explain why they decided to choose Cell and SPU over conventional architecture for the PS3.

X =10 🤦‍♂️

Nobody cares about xbox thats why

​​​@@monkeyboykc3190​ X doesn't always represent a Roman numeral. So X-Men = 10-Men? XBox Series X = 10Box Series 10? Tesla Model X = Tesla Model10? XXX = 101010? XFactor TV show = 10Factor? DirectX = Direct10?

Why not lol people fight over hyped games that are full of bugs or bastardize the original. Let alone sports games and fighters with their predatory dlc and currency when they get obsolete within a year anyway.
Though vid may not be best. Short answer is ps5 is console king though they shot themselves in the foot through ps plus price increases (the sales forgive this and the $10/lack of ps5 upgrade version let alone adding an occasional good game, even if you own on a competitor, to load faster).
However, the hybrid consoles may overtake it given switch success, and steam deck for a stronger machine though asus rog ally (can't dock to tv) can use windows 11 and that opens up new doors.
Xbox is a game pass ecosystem to use on hybrid or series S. No real point to upgrade either digital system as ps5 slim is $50 more and you need a separate stand to go vertical (original did both). Sony also censored sexual content from games more than nintendo lol 20 bunnies (though steam has an adult games filter).
I omit series x unless you need physical retro backwards compatible games as many xbox games do not have physicals, let alone releases unlike competitors, and even then, you got access with steam deck as well. At least smart delivery is cool as a free upgrade and series s good filler for out of stock ps5 back then. Limited specs nowadays.
It will be difficult for nintendo to compete with this as they're milking mario really badly this year. At least they perform well on the old bird, and are making first party games unlike Sony, who has completely abandoned psvr2 as well after that boring rock climbing horizon game (the Wizards is way better). 1:40 gaming crashed in 2024 and sony/xbox had tons of layoffs unlike Nintendo.

Same

bro this guy is a gaming addict holy 💀

Me too. SONY and Nintendo is a two pillar of gaming industry, but I wish they make another Nintendo Station and mixed IP series…

I’d throw the ps3 in the bin 😂😂😂

Good idea skipping gamecube to own a wii. Backwards compatibility really helped switching teams to afford a new console every gen when feasible. I did similar with xbone to ps5 though I did have a series s when ps5 was out of stock, but it helps giving to a friend and playing another copy of my digital games with better performance.
Kinda useless now with steam decks and hybrid consoles playing game pass. Remote play is better everywhere else than ps portal that does nothing standalone.
Yet that sold like spiderman 2 which had bugs and sony said they're retiring Peter (no 2 player nor 2 character campaign as you play as Peter or Miles as the missions tell you, let alone mary jane always wins with the taser lol). Ff7 rebirth sold a lot despite censoring Tifa and using a silly stagger gauge, and bsing with multiverse to be a deviantart version of the original lol.

@@huwdavies-tallon3305 lol I went through 4 PSX consoles in 95’-99’ the PSX modding community was so much fun

PS2 was backwards compatible so it felt like the console was consumer friendly by welcoming you to only expand your video game catalogue by having that bridge forward for users and still be able to keep classics you enjoyed. And the PS2 watershed moment for games was the release of GTA Vice City. Definitely helped push the sales of their consoles. Around that time, everyone and their mom were going ham with Vice City playing for days, lol.

The initial high price of the PS3 also overshadows the fact that it has a PS2 chip which means it's backward compatible with PS2 and PS1 games.
Later PS3 consoles which sold with a price cut didn't have the chip. So essentially less money for way less feature you can get.

I am a PC builder since late 90’s. PC Elitists is all about “my PP .. er PC is better than your PC” or “your thermal paste application is stupid”. They think they are smarter than the Engineers that make the hardware.
PS5 is a PC. It has the same hardware as a PC. It’s just simple to use. No need to fuss with drivers, graphics fidelity settings, etc… it just works.
PC Elitists can just pretend they some technical wizard when even a 12 year old can build a PC now. It’s so easy a kid can do it. It’s not the same as being a System Administrator for a large IT company. They small fry compared to real IT professionals.

Nintendo sells because kids and adults can play it. Parents can buy switch to each of their kids and can buy switch for themselves as well. For each family lets say they are 4 a mother, farher, and 2 kids 4 switch for each whereas you cannot do that on PS5 there can only be 1 ps5 in the livingroom 1 TV and that is it.

Frankly they should just leave their developers alone and work on their own console

The same thing happens in the TV industry as well. You have the "Resolution Wars" and the "Brightness Wars". Companies need to remember that what matters is the overall experiences, not just seeing who can pump out the most impressive specs on a spec sheet. Amazing how often that fact seems to get lost in all the noise.

no its because parents buy kids friendly games and almost every kid plays games. But not every adult so thats why nintendo is successfull

Kinda happened already and they're actually suffering right now since they had to lay off like 8% of their entire workforce. I wish Microsoft was doing better so there would be more incentive for Sony to do better.
Title is still inaccurate since Nintendo still makes more profit since their costs are lower. Nintendo also doesn't directly compete with Microsoft and Sony anymore since they follow their Blue Ocean strategy.

Nobody bought a ps2 for dvds. It was just a plus feature.

@@WavyJayZwhen I was a kid that was how people convinced their parents to get a console or their parents got the ps2 regardless of them wanting a GameCube because of the dvd player. If the ps2 wasn’t the cheapest dvd player on the market it wouldn’t be #1 and I still have my ps2.

@@ganymedehedgehog371 idk how old you were in 2000 when the ps2 dropped. It was not cheap, it was 300 for the console. I remember in 2001 my family bought a HD DVD player for less than 200 bucks. Dvd players were expensive in the 90s, they were affordable by the 2000's. It's a huge stretch to claim the ps2 sold so well because of the DVD feature. That literally nonsense.

@@WavyJayZ I was a kid but everyone in school got one because it served the double purpose of a dvd player.
If the dvd player had nothing to do with it it would have been a closer match between the ps2 and GameCube. Give a reasonable explanation as to why the ps2 sold as much as it did when gaming has only grown bigger over time. There isn’t any other explanation for the ps2 being such an outlier aside from then being the transition from vhs to dvd. There is no other explanation for the ps2 sales especially compared to future consoles and even it outselling the gba.

@@ganymedehedgehog371 you do realize the ps1 sold over 100 million. Most people that bought a ps1, got the upgrade. It was fully backwards compatible, and the graphics upgrade had people lined up to get it. I remember my older cousins getting it on release, and they gave my little brother their ps1. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. The DVD player was a good selling point but it was not the main reason at all. The ps2 literally had thousands of games for a reason. The gamecube couldn't compete with the games even though it was a more powerful system. I put alot of hours on the gamecube and the Xbox, but they pale in comparison to the time 8 spent on the two ps2 systems I owned. I didn't even watch a movie until the late 2009 on that thing. By that time I was looking for other modes of entertainment if you catch my drift 😏🤣

The physical disc is very cheap to produce. The cost was always for development.

I mean, prices drop.
I bought a full priced digital once and I’ll never do it again.

The Switch is NOT a home console.
It's a handheld.
People keep calling it a "hybrid", but it isn't. It's a handheld device that has a dock, like other handheld devices. The Switch Lite which is also counted in the sales totals can't be docked at all.
This is like comparing Nintendo DS sales to PS3 sales. They aren't really competing in the same market, and because the Switch isn't powerful enough, their libraries are literally about 90% different.
There's a reason that the FTC and CMA trial largely ignored Nintendo as a factor in their decision making. They hadn't even had a Call of Duty on their devices in over 10 years and most current gen AAA titles were skipping the platform altogether.
Lastly what business decisions have Sony made in the last few months? 🤔
They laid off 8% of their gaming division (900 people), which everyone else in the tech sector has also done, with most laying off more. MS for example laid off 9% (1,900 people) in their gaming division in January, and laid of 13,000 people from the entire corporation last year, including some from 343 and Bethesda. You can't really lay scrutiny at one corporation for an industry wide issue.
They over expanded dramatically during the pandemic, and the tech sector didn't go in the way that many of them believed that it would.

It's very natural that this look like an "biased" advertisement. Playstation is the father of gaming industry (and the mother is Nintendo, of course). PlayStation deserves this acclaims and Sony should get them as well.

This includes the costs of making games and the fact that the heads of Sony take home MUCH larger paychecks than the heads of Nintendo.
If you also see the FTC case that Microsoft was in for their merger, you can see that Nintendo makes more 1st Party Revenue (revenue for titles they published) than Sony or Microsoft.

Playstation 1 was magical in the 90s, with 3D character models I had never seen in my life, and i was 13 when I saw PS1 at someone's house. I had grown up on NES for 10 years before that, jealous of all the kids who had Super Nintendo & Sega. Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, Syphon Filter, Parasite Eve, Silent Hill changed my life

Hey the dude on your thumbnail is drinking water why ?

Lmao if Microsoft were making money like you say they are then why they put 5 exclusives on Sony which four of them you can get on the switch

@ivanbarroso865 That's quite possibly the dumbest "gacha" I've ever heard... "If McDonald's makes so much money, who do they keep opening new locations?!"
"If Billionaires are so rich, why do they keep trying to make more money?!"
Or if you still don't get it, let's stick with video games. "If Persona 5 was the best selling Atlus game on Playstation, why did it come to Xbox, Switch & PC?!"
"If Pokémon made so much money on Nintendo consoles, why'd they start making phone games?"
You're basically asking "why do successful businesses keep trying to make MORE money?" Shouldn't they be happy with the money they have? 😂

@@corey2232 exclusivity matters what’s the point of owning an Xbox if I can get anywhere else lol which implies Xbox will be the next Sega again you thinking Nintendo can beat Sony is very laughable and delusional Nintendo doesn’t have triple A games like final fantasy 7 rebirth or even a game like Baldurs Gate 3 lol

@ivanbarroso865 I don't care if you own an Xbox or not. I'm not a console warrior, nor do I care what plastic box yall want to fanboy for. Unit sales is what us gamers gloat about, not what the shareholders & execs care about.
Profit & profit margin matter, hence why MS & Sony are laying off people left & right with the rest of the industry.
You also act like Sony isn't putting their games on PC... So why get a PS5? "The games come out later though!" And? You're acting like Sea of Thieves (5+ years later), Pentiment & Hi-Fi Rush (1.5 years later) coming to Nintendo/Sony is sooooo earth shattering.
These are the same games that weren't worth your time for all these years, but now they're suddenly huge gets for Playstation?
Watch, in 5 years if Playstation gets Starfield, fanboys will be dancing around acting like it's such a big deal, even though this whole time yall been saying it sucks.
When Halo, Forza, Fable, Indiana Jones, Starfield, Hellblade 2, Gears, etc. come to Playstation or Switch 2 day 1, then you can pretend Xbox has nothing. Microsoft's leaked Financials show they made just as much revenue from gaming as they do Windows... and that was BEFORE the ABK acquisition.
Then again, I have zero Xbox consoles. I will take PC all day every day. It's just annoying to see Sony fans act like 1 less console existing would somehow be a good thing 🙄

Since you have been able to buy the PS5 without any problems, it has been leading global sales figures every time. The PS5 has no longer been sold at a loss since the summer of 2021. Profits fell because Sony paid off Bungie. Microsoft has high fixed costs because they bought 2 publishers. And Sony still makes more revenue. You also forget about the economic problems. Inflation rose enormously, especially in Europe. That's why Sony couldn't sell its 25 million consoles because Europe was weak.

Microsoft’s original deal offer to Sony in January 2022 was "all existing Activision console titles on Playstation, including future versions of CoD or any other current Activision franchise on Playstation until 2027." The deal that ultimately ended up being signed was different and concerned only CoD, for the next ten years.

10 year deal is irrelevant now. Microsoft is heading to third party.

Yh but it seems microsoft are putting some games on playstation which is dumb @@Marcus_K

And he gave a logical answer. I know you work at a gas station but try and keep up with the big boys.

Sony has bought a total of 2 publishers in its existence

Because they can't afford it, Sony are nearly bankrupt, if they could afford big publisher they would too,

@@batosaims absolutely they would if they could. there was even a rumor that Sony was gonna try to buy Take Two if Microsoft was successful with this Activision acquisition. But Sony has only ever bought developers, and only developers that they worked with many times. Microsoft bought two whole publishers who developed multiplatform games to make them under the Xbox umbrella. so what that reporter was saying was very much a false equivalency.

@FaZeFurhod that's an outright lie they bought out Psygnosis as one of the 1st studios they bought when the ps1 launched , Psygnosis both developed games and published them , they made wipout but published lemmings which was made by DMA designs (later known as rockstar games) . Lemmings isn't owned by sony but by rockstar owner take2 interactive

@@cryptocsguy9282 ...it's not a "flat out lie". Psygnosis was acquired in 1993 back before the Ps1 even launched. And Psygnosis was still just a developer who self-published games, they weren't a publisher with multiple studios under their umbrella like Activision is. The video game industry was totally different 30 years ago, when Sony had _just_ started competing in this space. It's not even close to the same level of consolidation that Microsoft has done. Acquiring Psygnosis is 1997 cost Sony $26 million, and when you adjust that for inflation it's $56 million dollars which is still just chump change compared to the $69 billion Microsoft spent to acquire Activision.
